With Profits ISA
Wesleyan’s With Profits ISA is a stocks and shares ISA whereby your investments are free from capital gains and income tax. You can open this account by investing £1,000, up to the maximum allocation of £20,000 per year, tax-free. It allows you to share in Wesleyan’s profits through the With Profits ISA Fund, which aims to provide capital growth over a medium to long-term period, investing in UK and international shares, government and corporate debt, property, cash and other financial investments. Applicants must be a UK resident aged between 18 and 74. This product has an Annual Management Charge (AMC) of 1.2%, rising to 1.7% if you opt in to the Ongoing Advice Service (OAS).
